I’ve been playing NiGHTS for years and I forgot who or what the character is in the game.
Does anybody know about this character?

Ah, yes. The tech demo for how analog controls work…
Yeah, they’re the character from that pinball mini game in Sonic Adventure.
There’s a Wiki:
The game you bought to get the 3D pad for the Saturn.
All I remember is that I was super excited for this game because of the hype and then when I finally got to play it, it was kinda shit.
I hated the original Saturn controllers.
I only ever played the demo, and I really dug it.
Would love to try out the whole game.
Did not hear any hype though
It’s in Steam now for like $7.
It played fine on SteamDeck after I searched up which version of Proton to force it to run under, and did some controls mapping.
That said…It’s… Just the demo.
Unintuitive boss fight mechanics, a one hit kill and a three life maximum (before the game resets itself!) means: I just kept repeating the demo for the vast majority of my play time.
I could watch a tutorial on the rest of the bosses, but honestly the later levels (that I have reached) are just different paint added to first level.
6/10 - It’s surprisingly good for being one of the earliest attempts at a making a 3d game.
If I was going to replay it, I would seach up a boss fight tutorial first, to save myself time. It’s just not worth playing through the whole game each time I want 3 more chances to guess each under-communicated boss mechanic.
Actually, you can still get the full Steam game for free at https://www.sega60th.com/register
Not really free if you have to link your account.
Yeah, free if you give us all your game and play history…
Ooh. Neat!
I’ve only actually played the first game, but as I understand it, NiGHTS is a high-ranking Nightmaren just like the monstrous bosses they fight. NiGHTS happens to be powerful enough to be independent. Whenever the other Nightmaren mug a dreaming visitor, if the visitor keeps hold of one of their Ideyas, NiGHTS finds it more fun to help the visitor wreck everything instead.
Edit: corrected NiGHTS to they/them pronouns (and while I’m here, you can still get the Steam version of NiGHTS for free)
I just get localhost refused to connect a few screens in
The character is named Nights. Right? I thought that was the point of the title.
I had the original game and loved it. Initially hated it because it wasn’t what I was expecting, but since I paid so much I played it and got into it. Fun game.
My grandma loves this guy! I played a bit when I was younger, but this and sonic were her shit.
